Terrific article - especially for someone who's probably never been there;) Two things - For the fortune teller section, Fiz impersonated one on in Episode 5271 (22nd May 2002) and Violet Carson was born in Manchester but she, Lynne Carol and Arthur Leslie were all residents of Blackpool when they starred in the programme, sharing the journey to Manchester each day from the resort's Blackpool North station to Victoria Station in Manchester as pictured in an a 1962 article in TV Times.--Jtomlin1uk 07:47, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
- I've been loads of times! Not for a few years now, but used to go every few years. Never did the Corrie tour, though. David 09:22, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Eeh, and I thought that it was just us Northerners who had sampled the resort's delights!!--Jtomlin1uk 13:38, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
I went to Blackpool once as a child. Didn't know it had been used a lot in Corrie so I have stood where some Corrie epsiodes have been set. Well it was about 1994 and I was 12 that year and remember Blackpool well. Benny1982 14:44, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry I forgot to add 4 tildes to my previous talk page. I would have been where Ena and Minnie walked around in 1961 plus where characters went on other trips to Blackpool Benny1982 14:44, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
Blackpool visit 1963 and 1986?[]
I am sure when Gail and Ian went to Blackpool in 1986 the resort was used for filming scenes, just wanted confirmation but also Len and Elsie went there in 1963. Did this happen offscreen or were a few scenes filmed in Blackpool for that particular trip? Benny1982 20:33, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Suspect it was off screen but no way of knowing for sure.--Jtomlin1uk 08:44, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
